Looks like you're running spacers with the OEM wheels there? They seem to poke out a bit. Lovely looking car by the way.

Spiller, the car had spacers when I bought it... tried to live without them but hated the look. Looked like a tram.

The spacers I have are street-legal, even here in Germany.

14mm? I run 7mm in the rear but I think these stick out more. I like!

41 degrees currently in NorCal. But for a change, its dry and sunny. So will take a run up 680 to Walnut Creek for the Diablo Region weekly Sat morning breakfast.

The usual flow up 680 is light with most going 80. Gotta watch out for Ralphie, my CHP buddy who got a 997 GT3. He usually decides if he's going to write ticket before he gets out of his Explorer. But he told me that he's already decide in my case - Im getting one - ;>)

I think I run 7mm, too. At least this is what the papers say. I thought for 14mm you'd need a second set of wheel bolts? Anyway, as you can see at the telephoto lens pic at the very top of this page, they don't really poke out. Otherwise they wouldn't be street-legal in Germany.

This past weekend's DRT event in Miami had a buttload of 991 & 997 GT3s, but it also had three 6GT3s. IMO, the "originals" looked like badazz sharks amidst the pudgier new models.

Thanks. I am a better photographer than a driver. Created THIS yesterday, which made me proud.
